The band spent this past year touring nationally as support for The Offspring during their album Smash‘s 20th anniversary shows, alongside Pennywise.

Fans of Pittsburgh five-piece Adventures (which is also comprised of several members of Code Orange) have been eagerly awaiting the release of the band’s debut full-length record. That day is finally almost upon as as we inch closer and closer to its release date of February 24.

Although the band’s previous frontman, Rodrigo Alfaro, has parted ways with Atlas Losing Grip as of last week, his vocals are still featured on the record. However, their newly released single “Cynosure” showcases their new vocalist, Niklas Olsson’s, powerful voice.

It’s widely known that The Black Dahlia Murder is a solidified death metal band with their music usually showcasing shredding metal riffs and devilish growls. But sometimes it’s cool to show versatility in changing your entire sound, proving that you don’t have to be stapled to one specific genre.

This is most certainly the case with TBDM’s newest release as they decided to go full punk rock with a covers EP entitled Grind ‘Em All. The release consists of three in-your-face punk rock renditions of songs from Left For Dead, Gyga, and Sedition.

Nashville punks Diarrhea Planet are gearing up to release their upcoming EP, Aliens In The Outfield, on November 18 via Infinity Cat Recordings. They have already released the other four songs off the effort, including their latest ’90s-esque tune “Bamboo Curtain.”

Today, the band has premiered “Peg Daddy” (via AltPress), the final track, which is much different than the rest of the EP. The tune is a little more lo-fi for the band but it gradually becomes louder in their signature punk blister.

Of recent years, Melbourne, Australia’s The Smith Street Band have evolved from beloved local act, plying their craft in dive bars around Melbourne, to full-fledged international touring folk-punk tour-de-force. One of the key components of this evolution has been vocalist and principle songwriter Will Wagner’s ability to forge a deeply emotional connection with the fan base via his unique and decidedly visual lyrical style. When coupled with his heavily accented but impassioned delivery, Wagner’s lyrics take you on an intimate journey through the many intricate workings of our human existence, evoking emotions of jubilation, despair, anger, defiance, love and everything …

The past few years have seen Melbourne, Australia’s The Smith Street Band grow from local cult favourites to international touring, folk-punk juggernaut. Much of that rise to prominence can be attributed to two factors: the unprecedented success of their critically acclaimed LP, Sunshine and Technology, and the band’s relentless and tireless approach to touring in support of that release. A sleeper hit, Sunshine and Technology opened the world’s doors to The Smith Street Band and the band’s renowned …

Rise Against are always on the move in terms of their songwriting and how they explore different genres and tones and incorporate them into their everlasting punk sound. This songwriting process was showcased quite delicately in their latest record, The Black Market, which was released back in July.

Today, the band released a new lyric video for the poppy-sided track “Tragedy + Time” which definitely shows the band’s maturity in both their music and lyrics. Right now, the world is in a time of tragedy and Rise Against likes to stand up against this and show the way out.…
